Lexi's POV
"I-I…" Stephanie tried to speak up but went silent.
She should at least try to defend herself. At least say this was not what she meant. Say that I heard wrong.
"Did you mean it?" I pleaded in my head for her to say no. Just once.
Stephanie stayed quiet, her gaze lowered like a guilty criminal. Why? Why can't you say a simple no to me? I don't want this anymore. I don't want to feel guilty anymore. I did get close to her because of my guilt, but I did think of her as my friend. The only friend I ever had all this time, and now not even that…
"You can't even lie anymore." I could feel tears filling up. I wanted to hold them back, but I could feel my heart being pierced into a thousand pieces. The pain was unbearable. It was like a wire wrapped all over it, and slowly that wire tightened, cutting through the flesh.
